[Verse]
G G
My friends they wash the windows
C D
and they shine in the sun
G G
They tell me wake up early in the morning sometime
C D
see what beautiful job we done
G G
I say let's put on some tunes, sing along
C D
do little all day
G G
Go down to the riverside take off our shoes and
C D
wash these sins away
[Chorus]
(D) G G C D
The river said la la la said shame on you
(D) G G C D
The river said la la la said shame on you

G G
I go down to chiano city park
C D
cause it makes me feel so fine
G G
When the weeds go down you can see up close
C D
in the dead of the winter time
G G
But when summer comes everything's in bloom
C D
and you wouldn't know it's there
G* (G)
The white folks like to pretend it's not
C* D
but their music's in the air
[Chorus]
(D) G G C D
You can hear them singing la la la said shame on you
(D) G G C D
You can feel them dancing la la la said shame on you
[Verse]
(D) G G
My friend Tanner she says you know me and Jesus
C D
we're of the same heart
G G
The only thing that keeps us distant
C D
is that I keep fuckin' up
G G
I said come down to chiano city park
C D
wash away your blues away
G* (G)
The beautiful ladies walk on by
C* D
You know I never know what to say

They'll be dancing la la la said shame on you

Let's go road block trippin' in the middle of the night

up in Gainesville town
G G
There'll be blue lights flashin down the long dirt road
C D
when they ask me to step out
G G
They say they are looking for illegal immigrants
